Finding Information

According to the Association of College & Research Libraries:
"Information possesses several dimensions of value, including as a commodity, as a means of education, as a means to influence, and as a means of negotiating and understanding the world. Legal and socioeconomic interests influence information production and dissemination."
This Research Guide is meant to assist in understanding the value of information; how data, information & knowledge differ; what variety of sources are available, what peer review means, and how to read a scholarly article.  Use the purple tabs on the left to navigate to various topics.
